A study conducted by First Advantage last year revealed that 72% of HR professionals conduct pre-employment background screens to protect brand reputation, 62% to protect the business from theft and 64% to protect employees against workplace violence.

Continuous monitoring is critical to red flag activities related to crime or pending court cases, motor vehicle violations and healthcare licensing changes.
